NEW YORK, Sept. 6.— The fall in prices of stocks was resumed today and gained momentum with progress. The hnrdenlng of the money market was the basic causo of tho decline. There was no refusal of money facilities on the part of the leaders and no actual necessity therefore for the closing out of holdings of stocks. There Is a very general sentiment that a severe stringency is not what Is to be feared. But no doubt Is ; left that money rates are working clear and will continue to do so. It is deemed extremely improbable that prices of stocks should continue to advance while money rates are rising. AVith the prices of stocks admittedly high, holders are loth to see values drop from under their holdings, however great their 1 confidence may be in the Intrinsic worth of their properties. This furnishes the substantial reason for tho sagging tendency of the market. It was recognizable that the require ments of the outstanding short interest were much ' less urgent today than oh yejterdav when their buying furnished the uplifting influence to prices. After the straggling mixture of gains nnd losses on the opening quotations, the course of prices turned downward. The occasional support of Reading was of only slight Influence In checking the down ward tendency. On the side of the foreign exchange the prospect for relief was clouded by reports of a substantial early advance in the minimum discount rates of the Bank nf England and the Imperial bank of Germany, although exchange rates fell under offering of bankers' bills today. Paris also continues to. accumulate gold. Tt Is concluded that the advance of an Indemnity payment by Russia' does ' not preclude the Intention of floating a large Russian loan, for which European cen ters are preparing. While no Japanese is sue is exnected immediately it is known that the Japanese fvinds in New York are being remitted to London. Tho renewed theatenlner outgivings on stock market affairs of the Boston oper ator also got on the nerves of Wall street owing to their timeliness with the reduc tion In the price of copper announced In New York and the sharp drop in that commodity In the London market. • The selling was the heaviest in the last hour of tho day when call money touched 3 nor cent and the final prices were far the lowest. The undertone at the last was weak. ■ . Bonds were heavy. Total sales> par value. $3,475,000. Vl.V 1 .

Greenbaum, Wanted by Los An. geles Police, Is Detained In Arizona City A. A. Greenbaum was arrested at Phoenix, Ariz., last night on a charge of forgery preferred by the liOb An geles police department. While Green baum is said to have secured only $11.50 in Los Angeles during the few days he was here the local police say he has a bad reputation throughout the coun try. Greenbaum's tactics, the police say, are as follows: He represents himself as a traveling cigar salesman and presents a list of orders to some -wholesale house ■with the request that the cigars be forwarded to their destination at a future date. "After the orders have been accepted by the wholesale house Greenbaum pre sents a check for a small amount, sel dom over $25, with the request that tho house honor It and give him cash, less a few dollars to defray the express charges in case the customers who have ordered through him refuse to accept the goods on delivery." This is the plan which Greenbaum is alleged to have worked on J. Neubauer, 151 North Los Angeles street, who ac cepted a check for $16.50, drawn on the California State bank of San Bernar dino and signed by Hussell Bros, of that city.
